When I lived in a flat, the bloke across from me used to walk around the communal hallway naked and playing with his winkle.
If I needed to leave my flat I would have to make sure the coast was clear before leaving every day.
I wouldn't fret too much about the table...life is too short to worry about the little things (which is what I used to think about my neighbour)

Community mediation??
Seriously, although it probably hasn't yet come to this, some council's (in England, at least) have a community mediation service, especially for neighbour disputes, and, in particular, when said neighbours are no longer communicating.
Often landlords and/or housing associations try to get such neighbours to agree ( ... to disagree agreeably) ... which usually worsens the problem.
Look up community mediation and see if there is a service near you [... if it ever looks like it'll turn nasty].
Please note that mediation is not legally binding. If two neighbours cannot come to any manner of arrangement, then it needs to be imposed ... generally by the courts.
Hope this helps .... or makes you feel better!!

The plants are in the garden
The yucky table has been dumped
We are no longer tripping over bikes in the flat
All is quiet on the Western Front (neighbour has not come round demanding to know where her table is!)
There are no strong men in sight but I live in hope!
Glad you got it sorted out, Isis.
I personally want to kick my top floor neighbour in the nuts after he vomited out of his kitchen window.....
.....and the vomit splashed all the way down the side of the building, nicely covering my kitchen window and window sill, and also making a nice big puddle right outside the garden door.....
Unfortunately I haven't got my window cleaner's phone number, and he's not due to turn up for a while yet.... And the bloody window is too high up for me to reach, as I live on the 1st floor, so I can't clean it myself. In the meantime I have to do my cooking with my back to the window, as the sight of the mess really puts me off my food!
I shall make sure to give my neighbour the bill from my window cleaner, and if I ever feel sick, I shall go and vomit in my neighbours letterbox.
That is totally gross! I hope you get it sorted soon LM
Glad to hear the table problem has now been sorted, but for anyone who does get into real problems with a neighbour, regarding community mediation (we have them in Scotland too). I had a real neighbour nightmare in my last house, never imagined I'd be in that situation in my life, all sorts of nasty spiteful things were going on. In the end I called community mediation and they helped us sort the matter out and avoid legal actions (and the associated fees!!!).
(Have now moved and have nice neighbours!)
Law students are going to be baffled when they google 'Rylands v Fletcher' and get directed to a modern jive forum...
Well I was once again woken by the tribe next door at 4.30am. They have smashed their patio glass doors and sounded like they were knocking down walls. I have had enough so will report them today. Through sleep deprevation I am worried that I might kill them in the night. It really p1sses me off to think that there are some genuine people that want to stay and work in this country and these are just spongers that have no repect for anyone else. By accident a letter came to my house and I opened it. The amount of dole monies you get for a family of 5 is amazing. Not sure who to contact but I want them out! I know they will be gone by next week but will be back when the forms have to be renewed.
Rant over!
